2023 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Coupe Exterior

+526

Even in its base model, the Porsche Cayman is predictably excellent in all of the ways we've come to expect. This is a driver-centric vehicle with an emphasis on sharp handling and premium cabin materials. But excessive outside noise, a lackluster engine note and questionable value diminish the Cayman's overall appeal.

Where has this car been all my life?!?!

Phil, 12/10/2016

2017 Porsche 718 Cayman 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

Let's get the disclaimer out of the way first; this is my first Porsche, so I can't do the sound comparison - I'm happy, but I can't compare to "back in the day." What I can say is that this is one fine, well-built, high performing vehicle. This car simply attracted me, especially after I couldn't find much else that appealed to me. Several makes and models seemed to be going for luxury …

718: there is no substitute

2017 Porsche 718 Cayman S 2dr Coupe (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

Having been interested in Porsche for many years, I began reading reviews of the new 718 series as soon as they began to appear. I finally got the chance to drive one (a base Boxster) about a month ago, and I was very impressed: it was superior in every respect to the 2014 Boxster S that I was driving. After thinking it over for a while, I returned to my dealer last week, and drove the …

Porsche is right - there is no substitute

2019 Porsche 718 Cayman 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

In 2018 I bought an Audi TT RS, which I thought was nearly perfect. That feeling lasted until I drove a high mileage 2012 Cayman R a few days ago. I was very surprised by how superior the driving experience was to my Audi. Two days later I bought a well optioned 2019 base Cayman with PDK, which felt very similar to the old R that I had driven. I bought a base car rather than an S because …

Wow, I love my New Porsche Cayman S

2017 Porsche 718 Cayman S 2dr Coupe (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

I've owned an Porsche Panamera 4 for several years, but decided to trade it in for the new 2017 Porsche Cayman S. One word, "WOW", this vehicle is a totally Amazing. I enjoyed my Panamera 4, but driving the Cayman S will put a Smile on your face for hours. This vehicle is responsive, amazingly fast, and you'll fall in Love on the test drive. I researched this vehicle for several …
